Hi Alpha,
You can export the SPSS syntax with KoBoForm. Just import your XML form first and then click on SPSS File in the menu. It will show you the syntax that you can run in SPSS directly to create the labels after importing the raw dataset. You can find instructions on http://www.kobotoolbox.org/updates/2012/09/exporting-labels-values-spss.

Best,
Tino

Thanks for you help,
Followed the video carefully it didn''t work for me. May be I missed
out on something. For now, I will do it the hard way and come back to
it later, Cause time is against me.

Thanks fo all of you,

Alpha

Hi Alpha,
Could you let us know which step in particular didn't work for you? We're using the SPSS labeling function a lot, so we can certainly help you troubleshoot. 

I think the video is pretty detailed, but if there is any step in between where you struggled we can send you more detailed instructions if needed.

Thanks,
Tino

Dear Tino,

Thanks for your concern. Like I said, I followed the video through and
through. What I notice is that when I save the SPSS syntax the first
few lines are missing. I repeated the save/copy and paste process in
KoBoForm many a time.

I have attached the xml file of my form so that you can try it from your side.

Regards,

Alpha

Hi Alpha,
Thanks. Could you also please send the SPSS syntax file that you said was missing some lines?
